Topher's 05 Limited build

1973 Nissan Skyline and a 1972 Datsun 240z

I love those body style 240, 260, and 280s! I have an '83 ZX and I wish I could find a decent 76 or so down here. Are you restoring that one?

My father and I are building that one and the skyline is mine. We are putting an RB25det motor in the Z. It's a later model Japanese motor that is an inline 6 turbocharged motor stock. We a re doing a few things to print the power to around 300whp hopefully. That's will all stock internals and stock turbo. Should be pretty easy to jit that number.

Sweet! You gonna create a build thread for that one on one of the Z forums? I'd like to follow it too!

Mounted the solenoid box and cut out some stuff that wasn't needed and added some gussets and supports where needed i think. Next up will be the fairlead, light bars and pods and turn signals. With all the additional weight I now need some coilovers. Been wanting them for a while but now I actually need them so now I'm motivated.

Finished the front bumper





Just removed my rear bumper to start building my own.



Christmas came a day early for me I plan on running 285/70/17 and I'm getting a 1.5 body lift to help fit them. UCA are on the list so I can get my alignment on point and maybe not have to do the body mount chop.

So jealous of the wheels, they're gonna look so nice on your Runner!

Those wheels and tires look much better. What are your plans for the rear bumper? Are you staying with the lighter weight tubular design?

I'm thinking of doing a tube/ steel bumper. I'm kind of lost where to start from.... I just need one motivational day and I'll get started on it hahah.
